What
does the "joint" in "Joint Master of Social Work" mean?
The JMSW program is a joint
effort between NCA&TSU and UNCG. This means that both schools contribute
resources to the success of the program. Students are students of both
universities. Classes are held on both campuses; faculty from both schools
teach; students have library and parking privileges on both campuses;
and the degree is granted jointly by both universities. (The diplomas
even have the seals of both schools.)
Can
I work while I'm in the program?
It's been done. That said,
it's not recommended. Full-time students take 15 credit hours per semester.
Beginning in the second semester and continuing until graduation, students
are in field placement 8 a.m.-5 p.m. three days a week. A choice to
work does not excuse you from responsibilities in class or field placement.
